Minisymposium Presentation
HPC Training Standardization and Certification
Presenter
Dr. Kevin Lüdemann did his Ph.D. at the institute of Astrophysics and Geophysics in Göttingen with focus on direct numerical simulations of compressible convection in earth outer liquid core, and is currently working as an HPC-Trainer at the GWDG and focuses on HPC-Basic Training. Additionally, he is working on the EuropeHPC JU funded project HPC SPECTRA, which works on standardization and unification of HPC-Training in collaboration with the HPC certification Forum, for which he is also curating the Skill tree.
Description
Standardization is one cornerstone in Training unification across Europe, and the HPC Certification Forum is pursuing this task using a Skill tree. This tree starts with Skill categories such as HPC Knowledge or Software development and branches out into smaller and smaller nodes until a single skill is reached. A skill in this case is a single unit of learning containing knowledge that can be learned in 1 to 4 hours with lecture or reading and self study time. The core of each skill are universally applicable learning objectives formulated using Bloom's Taxonomy. Furthermore, an examination framework allows training providers as well as participants to certify the knowledge acquired on a skill to skill basis. This framework will not be used for the new EuroHPC Training platform under hpc-portal.eu for categorizing training events. This is done under the HPC SPECTRA project and should be rolled out in Spring of 2025. Additionally, the skill framework will be used to create learning pathways and baselines in collaboration with the CASTIEL2 project.
